7 Key Digital Strategies

Working hard and taking care of the customers within your brick and mortar operation should always be the priority and are critical to every dealer's success. However, to be successful in today's market requires more than just hard work; it requires working hard and working smart. Just as systems and processes must be put into place to handle the customers coming into your store, key systems and processes must be put into place for the digital side of your business. At the 2008 Dealer Expo, Paul Leinberger, Ph.D and founder of Tdi Consulting gave a presentation for the MIC members in which he stated that to thrive and survive in 2008, one of the key components would require making "Digital Strategy" the heart of your business.
